RESIDENTIAL WASTE STORAGE

Where should waste be stored?
All waste containers must be stored in the garage or behind the front building line. They may be placed at the curb 24 hours prior to scheduled collection. The containers should be closed to prevent odor, insects and the dispersal of waste.

What should I do with yard waste?
Brush and tree limbs less than 4 inches in diameter must be tied in bundles that are no larger than 48 inches long and 18 inches in diameter. The bundles should be stored behind the front building line and placed at the curb only on collection day. Residential composting is permitted in Lenexa.
